This upload captures the end of the morning sitting, the bells sounding to invite participants to stand, bow and leave the room together. Participants are in noble silence as they leave (a period of silence lasting from the evening sitting meditation at 8.30pm to breakfast at 8.30am). The recording was made as part of a Tea Ceremony retreat with the UK Community of Interbeing (https://coiuk.org). (Sennheiser 8020s either side of a Jecklin Disk on a SD MixPre6)

A short 10 minute meditation in the basement studio of Berkshire Pilates. The fading sound of the meditation bell reveals traffic, notably the low rumble of engines and boom of car stereos. The electric heater buzzes and clicking as it warms-up and together with the clock adds a sense of constancy to the sound of the space. (Spaced pair of MKH 8020s + SD MixPre6)

This leads into a 30 minute silent meditation, accompanied, at points, by the distant bells of local churches.

Bunkfest is a free-access community festival in Wallingford that has been running for 15 years (2001-2016). As part of the entertainment, stalls are set out around the town square and dancers and musicians from all over Southern England take it in turns to entertain the public gathered about. This recording captures the band and the dancers’ shouts, calls, the clashing of sticks and the rhythm of the bells attached to their legs. Binaural recording using Luhd PM-01s and a Tascam DR-05.
